Holy shit NoA what the fuck
So I went to EB Games and the guy told me NoA shipped even less than he thought. They got 5 Shulk pre orders and only got 4, they got 7 Shiek pre orders and only got 3-4.
Man what the hell

... Well wtf!? I hope that stored messed up somehow on the number of pre-orders they could take and that this isn't a common thing throughout all of EBGames.
Edit: that's right they did say there would be more pre-orders fulfilled. Forgot about that.

Why is everything amiibo?
I think the rest of the preorders are going to be filled mid February.

They've already said more preorders will be filled in February.

Can you post pictures?

Ehh I called my EB store, looks like I'm gonna have to wait till Feb to get my Shulk pre-order fulfilled. Too bad.
I will call later but I assume it will be the same for me.
This is an online order for ISPU, right?
yeah for ISPU

Bummer, I just want it cause I love Mega Man. This Amiibo stuff seems a little insane sometimes.

It's insane all the time.
I have no idea how to post pictures from my phone. How do I do it?

You could use an imgur app to rehost them.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. Wow that's still really silly.
Also in EB Games I saw Warriors Orochi 3 for PS4 on sale for $49.99, I think Samurai Warriors 4 was as well.

I have to wait until after work to go in.
I'm still nervous it's suddenly going to disappear.

Check to see if they actually got any extras so I can see if I should even bother visiting my local EB. =(

Whoa. Missed this one. Was it Amazon selling it or a third party?

Yeah, there might be people who didn't get the call and have to wait until Feb that will go in anyway and pick it up, I suppose. Goodluck!

FYI you may want to wrap those images in a quote tag to make them smaller.

No time for that, this is amiibo territory.
Exciting, I'll be picking mine up later today.
Also putting your pictures in a quote box is a good idea please

I don't know but its pretty annoying. I expect deals when I come in this thread but its always about these damn amiibo. There is not an existing thread for amiibos?

I agree that it's getting a bit much. Most Amiibo talk could be moved to the Amiibo topic. I even noticed exact same post happening here and in the Amiibo thread at the same time. Lots of Canadian discussing Amiibo in the official topic, we all welcome there!
However, it's ok to post here when pre-order goes up and all that. With the current situation, just being able to order the damn thing has to be considered a deal...
There is a thread for it but it seems they don't want it there.

Also this is 2015, deals in Canada don't exist anymore

Breaking amiibo talk for a second:
I don't buy things online often but ordered a textbook from Amazon recently and got it a week earlier than what the estimated date was on my order, does this happen often or should I not get my hopes up for future purchases?

The even more laughable deal I noticed when I went in was: "Get 30% Extra Trade In Credit towards amiibo."
Luigi for everyone. Geez. But yeah, I'll stick to the amiibo thread from here on. I just find it a shame that the only available amiibo there was Bowser (for Wave 3). I saw how many amiibos they had prepared for pickup and Toon Links were strewn about.
While I was there, I noticed they had Ocarina of Time 3D. I should probably replace my missing copy.

So! Here is my lucky story of the week, most likely of the year!
I walked in to my local EBGames this morning, thinking well I could get lucky and find some rare amiibos. Well believe it or not, the clerk there had preordered King Dedede and Ike, which I hadn't. But then, the guy told me, do you want them? I said: Yeah, I mean, ABSOLUTELY.
So in the end, I got Ike and Dedede without even preordering them, thanks to the guy at EB. Today was a good day, and it just begun!

From my experience, it happens quite often (for stuff that wasn't pre-oredered, of course)

Amazing, there are still some kind people left in this world.
They look beautiful by the way. Congrats

People complaining about what we talk about, first world problems.
Just deal with it and if you don't want to participate in our discussion then don't.
I checked the last page for fun. Out of 100 posts I counted 5 that were not related to amiibos. It's getting a bit much.

Is there a deal you'd like to talk about? I would LOVE to hear about an actual deal going on in Canada lol.
I guess we could talk about PS4 accessories, at best? With the Sony Store going out of business I got a camo PS4 controller for $37.
Seriously though, if you want purely deals without much fluff then you're better off with bookmarking something like this and refreshing at your leisure.

Otherwise you'll be sifting through people talking about the shitty parts of shopping in Canada, amiibos included.
We are at the point where we may need to make a Canadian Shipping & Amiibos Discussion OT
